zlclient.exe says I dont have permission to launch this app

Hello,
Zonealarm free was working for a while, but today when I try to launch the client I get this weird permission issue, I unstalled ZA deleated the folder and reinstalled the latest from the web and I still get this error.

I have got this problem too!!!!

I am using Windows XP.Just now, I installed it and after I rebot, it didn't launch up automatically and when I tried to launch it,it said that Windows cannot access to that file, maybe I do not have suitable premission and something like that..vsmon.exe and zlclient.exe are visible in the task manager.However,zlclient.exe has ''no cpu'' and the ram usage is only 56k.My English is poor and hope all of you could understand what I said and give me a hand!!!

Re: zlclient.exe says I dont have permission to launch this app

Hi richsark,

I would suggest you follow this thread: http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/b...ssage.id=48347 . These instructions are very intense and you will need to make sure you follow the "EXACT INSTRUCTIONS". It only takes one little registry key or file to cause any type of problems with Zone Alarm, so therefore you need to make sure you cover each step in the instructions.

Fix (or at least it worked for me)

I have been trying to install ZoneAlarm Antispyware 6.5.xxx on Windows 2003 server SBS, and have receivied the same error message after install, basically stating I didn't have permission to access zlclient.exe. The vsmon.exe service was running, but the zlclient service wasn't (if that's even a service). Problem resolved (for me at least) with the following:**When you install Zonealarm on Win2003 server, when asked 'Do you wish to start ZoneAlarm now?, click 'No' and reboot.1) After I received the error, I rebooted into safe mode2) Tried to open ZoneAlarm again, it worked, I selected 'continue trial' and went through wizard.3) ZoneAlarm opens, but says 'system error: reboot (or something similar) in upper right corner in red text4) Reboot and open ZoneAlarm shortcut.5) Should be goodI am a loyal ZoneAlarm fan, and they have never steered me wrong. Installing ZoneAlarm on every other system works fine, except for Windows 2003 SBS (win2003 std, enterprise and datacenter work fine w/ ZA)

Re: zlclient.exe says I dont have permission to launch this app

Actually, the safemode fix (posted above) seemed to work, but has had some problems. Mainly, ZoneAlarm doesn't show up in a RDC session, and after a RDC session, zonealarm crashes on the actual server. I am now running version 6.0.667.000 (an older version), and all the problems have been fixed.
